constipated 10 year old girl - brought on by herx

[Guest guest]

My 10 year old went to the ER early Sunday morning because of terrible

pain in her belly. They took a ex-ray and said she was extremly

constipated - they gave her an enema - she went a little as the nurse

put it but it did relieve her pain - so the doctor put her on mirolax

the perscription strenth - she has taken this everyday and still

nothing has happened - she is to tired, headache etc because of the

stool overload - anyone have any ideas what I can do for this poor

child as I really though she would have a movement by now!! She is

drinking tons - the ER doc said do not give her any laxative or stool

softiners - my guess is that is she dosent have a movement by later

today I will have to take her back as she really cant miss any more

school - she in on week four!!

thanks -
